Except my EVGA RTX 2070 had instability issues using a daisy chain that cleared up when using 2 separate cables. The TX550M delivers close to 46A on the +12V rail which is adequate for a graphics card that would be installed in a system adopting a power supply of this capacity. i7 8700K, AORUS Z370 Ultra Gaming, 16GB DDR4 3000, EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Ultra, Samsung 960 EVO 250GB, Corsair HX 850W.

The super-efficient operation of the TX Series semi-modular results in lower energy use and lower operating costs. No there is no problem at all with using both plugs from the same cable, at least not that I've ever heard of.The tests performed are based around six conceivable setups that are out there and progressively load down the PSU up to the power supply's limits or 1000W, whichever comes first. DC output quality was great as well and there are some that would kill for noise this low on their high wattage power supplies.

As this can be a little confusing for people, here are various dBa ratings in with real world situations to help describe the various levels. Sounds like it's probably advisable to add the second cable and sacrifice some cable management cleanliness. I just upgraded from a 7 year old Corsair TX550m to a Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum 750w, and it's powering an overclocked RTX 2080. That said, measuring lower than 28dBa proves very difficult, unless in strict laboratory conditions. The fan profile is not aggressive in this unit and under most load situations you can't really hear it.With all Japanese 105°C capacitors, they’re a great choice for high performance PCs where reliability is essential. The unit is packed full of features that are normally reserved for higher end, higher wattage power supplies such at being rated for 100% continuous output at 50C and a full complement of circuit protections. Corsair recently launched a new range of semi modular Gold rated power supplies in 550W, 650W and 750W capacities. Low-Noise Operation: A 120mm rifle bearing fan creates less noise than traditional bearings, letting you focus more on the task at hand, whether it’s gaming or work.
